I have no objection to publication of -04 as Proposed Standard.

One implementation-experience note, not a blocking issue: the MUST
that the Merkle-root payload is detached (so verifiers recompute the
root from the inclusion proof) is the right safeguard. A second,
independently-built verifier is only meaningful if it cannot "succeed"
by trusting a supplied root.

I did not review the CCF-internal leaf fields beyond the document's
statement that receipt verifiers may ignore them. This note is about
RFC 9162-shaped logs and COSE Receipts (RFC 9942), not a CCF run.
